Chapter 2 Problem 2-77

Question

Determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles of the resultant force, and sketch this vector on the coordinate system.

Solution

Step 1 of 5

Transform each force to the Cartesian vector which is the  and  component of the forces. Note that positive values are those with rightward, forward and upward directions while leftward, backward and downward directions are negative.

The  and  components of  can be solved by bringing the force to  plane using the  angle and then using the  angle to finally bring it to  and  axes. The  component can be directly solved using the  angle.
